1. This week's scholars provide some brilliant pedagogical suggestions for instructing students on fair use (think: leave blank spaces after descriptions of plagiarism). Rife, however, does not provide such a suggestion concerning the following statement:
"Teaching students about fair use, helping them apply the four-factor test to their own composing practices, is engaging students in multiliteracy/information literacy" (Rife 170).
For this question, brainstorm an activity by which to help students apply the four-factor test.
2. Lessig describes SylviaO--an artist whose use of the remix was entirely legal (16). Unlike Breitz or Girl Talk, however, the content she used and made available to others was hers, and entirely original. How do you think Copyright Law might respond to SylviaO's approach to free-access content? Will we see fewer of the Sony Vs. The World situations and more instances of open-source creative content? And, if you'd like, what type of market economy would make such an approach to copyright viable?
